his a piece of sponge .attached to the upper edge ofthe sack, which may be saturated wtlrperfnme, if desired. I I alu aware that a double sack is not, of itself, new, as it has been used by introducing it into the vagina and pressing it against the mouth of`-tbe fwomb, an inconvenient, if not an inlpraoticable application of the sack.

Claim '.lhe within described catauienial sack, consistingof the outer sackA, in combination with an inner sack O'provided with an opening, f, and so arranged as to form a space, g, and combined with bands and straps for securing the same uponfthe as and for the purpose described, y Witness my band this 11th day of June, ArD. 1870.
